P, what's 'Multiviews'...

Lise, it's Apache's feature, part of content negotiation apparatus:
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/content-negotiation.html#multiviews>

"The effect of MultiViews is as follows: if the server receives a request for /some/dir/foo, if /some/dir has MultiViews enabled, and /some/dir/foo does not exist, then the server reads the directory looking for files named foo.*, and effectively fakes up a type map which names all those files, assigning them the same media types and content-encodings it would have if the client had asked for one of them by name. It then chooses the best match to the client's requirements."

I hope this explains it (even though I'm not P ;)
